8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x: 0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces
Yes, your answer are correct! There is a little work to be shown on number 1, but it isn't necessary.
Hope this helps! Brainliest it if it does!
